Tuft and Needle vs Casper

The Tuft and Needle and Casper mattresses are considered the highest quality factory to home mattress start-ups of the last few years. They are really shaking a lot of things up in a really big way by being a direct to home models. There are no more cluttered show rooms with dozens of rows of beds, no more beds that have remote controls, and the best part no more middle men to deal with or high outrageous prices.

The construction of the luxury mattresses

When it comes to construction the one thing that you will notice about the Casper is that it is actually a hybrid mattress. The first layer is made of a latex foam while the second layer is memory foam. The bottom layer is a support foam base. It is this type of hybrid mattress that is trying to give you the best of both worlds with memory foam and latex foam. Casper only added the foam latex to help the top layer to stay cooler without losing any of the support.

Yet, when it comes to The Tuft and Needle, they went with a fairly interesting approach to their construction of the foam. To find out more about the construction of the Tuft & Needle mattress check this out:
